Obama's IRS would have caught Trump if there was something to catch.
Trump doesn't want his tax returns to be released for the simple reason that Democrats will make every little detail a story in 2020, similar to Russiagate.
Democrats hid behind Russiagate, so they didn't have to clearly state their position on other issues, same if Trump releases his tax returns.....lots of details in those returns can be made into a phony scandal.

Does this mean if El Chapo had paid his taxes he wouldn't be in jail?

Al Capone would have avoided it.

Trump knows that every scrap of info will receive the harry reid spurious rumor strategy, where lies are floated to win an election.


mitt didn't pay tax for 10 years...reid lied and admitted it, said it was to win an election.


Dems now accuse trump of crimes if he says. 'good morning'.


what do you think will happen if they get his tax returns that the weaponized IRS, who cover trumps tax returns could find no impropriety. Right shelia Jackson lee will out sleuth Obama's IRS and catch trump in a financial crime.


Hate to think what the socialist dems will do, what they are capable of doing, when they run out of time and are unable to trip trump.

We already have too much nitpicking and too few people that want to run because of the intense scrutiny. We are just going to make things worse in the long term just to get revenge on a guy who may only have ~1 year left in office.
Anyone running for POTUS should have their record come under extreme scrutiny. See Trump as an example as to why.

If you're not running because your worried about being scrutinized, then you don't deserve to be president let alone a candidate.

Thats not true. There are plenty of things that people TRY to make into issues that really aren't issues. Our political environment is so toxic that its dangerous.

Why does Trump lie and say "my tax returns are being audited" for 3 years and you believe him? How does it feel to know he's lying? If you don't know he's lying, I am informing you now. It doesn't take 3 years to audit anyone.

That’s why all of these things need to be in writing. Take someone like Trumps word? Not a chance...

Does anyone believe Trump releasing his tax returns would stop left wing nut jobs' attacks on him? There is no upside to this. The smears will continue as always since that is all the Demwits have in their now empty bag of dirty tricks. They need to read that children's classic "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" because there is a powerful life lesson for them
